Interesting. Interesting indeed. Are you insinuating that KKB is a sock created by DC so the poster can converse back and forth with an alternate personality - not to agree - but to disagree? No, but they're essentially the same person, two sides of the same coin if you will, so if the admins banned one, kinda makes sense to ban the other. Geez Louise. Ok, I admit I often enjoyed teeing off on dcfan, but two sides of the same coin? That's a tad harsh, wouldn't you say? I mean, It's not like I wrote up a story about how I met him at a gay bar, or anything like that. Throwing stones and glass houses, love. You know? Anyways, I'm glad he got booted. An odd sentiment for a sock, eh? It was kinda like crack cocaine. You know it's wrong and you should leave it alone, but when someone just leaves it on the table, it's hard to resist. It's also kinda odd that some folks want the crack dealer back while simultaneously complaining about the effect he had on the board. You're not going to be seeing this side of the coin intentionally trying to derail every thread with endless pro Patriots nonsense, so that sort of thing is over. Why in gods name would you wish it back?

I feel like I saw this coming weeks ago. DC Fan has been unrelenting with the anti Patriots routine and I had to wonder how long he could keep it up before somebody put the kibosh on it. I think the fatal blow was due to his behavior on the MCU board. He was even more of a pest there, than here. Repeated warnings, the locking of his threads and deletion of his posts that violated the TOS and forum rules, endlessly spamming. He was a full time job for those poor moderators ... who finally must have had enough to issue him the death penalty.

It's a shame DC Fan was banned; he had a good shot at winning this thing. ... a damn shame.

Well technically, it's a supervillain origin movie as opposed to a superhero movie. That in no way invalidates its presentation of the character. Not much of a supervillian, either.

Well for one thing, there’s already a Death Wish 2. You know what I mean. Death Wish 2.2

I guess you gotta ask - Were his two super bowl wins because of him, or was he just along for the ride? (like his brother) Answer - Eli was key to those two win. HOF - yes. I thought you were banned? Nope. Not even remotely.

 So ... this is how you hijack a thread, and don't get banned!

Eli has had only a few shining moments in his career. Unfortunately, two of them were against the Patriots.
So ... hat tip to Eli ... and now I look for a dog to kick.

Pretty sure you need to include: Michael Caine Gary Oldman Christian Bale Heath Ledger Aaron Eckhardt and Joaquin Phoenix in which case it becomes a DC cakewalk Heck if you're going to include all those, then from the MCU side you should bring in Anthony Hopkins, Cate Blanchett, Kurt Russell, Natalie Portman, Edward Norton, Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfiefer, etc. boom.

... on unsuspecting superhero fans?
By taking a very non-superhero story about a mentally ill performer and adding some superficial Batman trappings?
I mean, the motive is certainly there. Big bucks at the box office vs a nitch movie that few people would have gone to see. Is that how it was green lit, I wonder?
How many other scripts are out there, languishing in development hell because no one wants to roll the dice on them, without a sure-fire return on investment? Some superhero fanboys will go to see anything with a cape, and even a bad superhero movie can make big bucks. BvS, anyone? Suicide Squad?
There is little chance of a Death Wish 2 any time soon, but put Bruce Willis in a halloween bat costume, and they will come!

Remember when Black Panther was up for Oscars and won Several and the MCU hater trolls whined and b!tched about it, even claimed that Feige/Disney bought off the Academy voters to win them just last year??? If you listen to the MCU jealous trolls, the legitimacy/illegitimacy of the Oscars is like a kid playing with a light switch. Wonder Woman: ON ... no, wait. OFF. Black Panther: OFF Joker: ON funny stuff.

But there's no single, definitive incarnation of the Joker. No more than there is of Batman. Cesar Romero's Joker was a prancing crime boss, Nicholson's was a darker, mutilated version of same. Ledger's Joker was a terrorist and an anarchist with no back story whatsoever. With that in mind, I fail to see what invalidates this film's interpretation of the character. ^this. The film's interpretation of the character and archetype is the most mature and profound one.In particular it's an origin story and the Joker's origin, for the most part, was always kept ambiguous or dark. It's speaks to the strength of this charters that it can be interpreted in so many ways, most other (weaker) character fail at that and remain tied to one actor, thus becoming irrelevant with time. Due to it stripping out the superhero/supervillian element, with only a cursory connection remaining. All well and good ... unless you're a superhero fan.

Are those the only instances you could find, where no one said Endgame was supposed to clean up at the Oscars?

That's what I'm saying. This wasn't Joker from Batman. Yeah he had the same name, yeah they gave him a clown makeup, yeah they name dropped the Wayne's, but he still wasn't the same character. But there's no single, definitive incarnation of the Joker. No more than there is of Batman. Cesar Romero's Joker was a prancing crime boss, Nicholson's was a darker, mutilated version of same. Ledger's Joker was a terrorist and an anarchist with no back story whatsoever. With that in mind, I fail to see what invalidates this film's interpretation of the character. No superhero.

No. It's doubtful anyone said that.
... and here come the lightweight troll wannabes, scampering in to fill the void left by our recently departed manus asinus.

Patriots fans don’t seem to care either way. When the deflategate story first emerged, I was pretty ticked. It seemed like an incredibly stupid thing to do after all the hysteria over the incorrect placement of a cameraman for one game a few years earlier. The Patriots footballs were "2 psi below normal", according to ESPN. Well, that's it, I thought. The fucking idiots fucked themselves for no fucking reason. ... fuckity fuck fuck fuck. Then the details started to emerge. The ESPN story was false. The NFL officials had no idea that temperature affected pressure. No one bothered to write down the starting pressures. The investigation inexplicably ignored the recollection of the official who handled the footballs. Every single scientist who looked at the report thought it was a crock of shit. The NFL had ulterior motives to guide the investigation to a conclusion that reenforced it's authority over the players. So, my anger at the Patriots subsided. Deflategate was clearly a manufactured incident, born out of ignorance and exploited by the men in charge to maintain their power. Spygate was another case where all the really bad things turned out to be false, so it's hard to get worked up over that either. But if the Patriots ever really did cheat - yeah, I'd be angry.

You know in all seriousness, despite his unhealthy obsessive antisocial behavior on here, I have to give DC Fan some credit. To my knowledge he never personally attacked anyone on here. His venom was always aimed towards movies, not people. No matter how many posters personally attacked him he never replied in kind. Again, if he did then I didn't see it. Even when that disgusting prick Former Sam doxxed him and even when many other posters mocked his real life dead relatives he did not respond in kind. So while his bizarre behavior was obnoxious, even disturbing, he was, in the end, less dispicable than many of his enemies here. I speaks the truth and you all knows it!  When Trump took out Soleimani, there were some people who actually eulogized the dead terrorist. Blamed other for the things he did. He was the victim. With that in mind, I give you - Ackbar Von Trapp!

So it’s finally happened. I believe a few words are in order. Except I’m not quite the orator. Any volunteers?
